I had quite a few exchanges with Bob about his engines and plane. The info was well received and apparently utilized well.

Just think, there may possibly be hundreds of hours of old Lazair footage rotting away on some dusty shelf somewhere. The best of those videos (if they exist) could easily be converted to CD.

The Moab Lazair guy apparently has moved on to Kitfox's after an incident. A sick engine finally gave out or something along those lines. Unfortunate as I was looking forward to more Utah Lazair flying videos.

With a slight bevel in the strips, it really adds rigidity and strength to the length of the strip itself. I never liked the way the strips looked with the bevel up, so I added a layer of super durable Tedlar finish tape under the cap strips (looks closely in the above pic) and it will never do any damage to the covering. Several guys I know have had then down for many years with no issues. It's a personal choice I am very happy with.
